I wasn't impressed when I returned home on this Sundey to find Taymount Rise choc-a-block with cars (residents park partly on the pavement, visitors do not) reducing the road to a narrow single lane. ...

Unless I'm missing something not all of the properties seem to have a kitchen! ?305,00 for a two bed flat with no kitchen seems a lot of money to me. Suppose it will help local restaurants though, a...

Michael, it's interesting that you should be forewarned of overnight water cut offs when I have never had any such warning. I did have a couple of warnings last year of the water supply being interup...

On Taymount Rise they regularly turn the water off overnight with no warning. You go to get ready for bed and there's no water. It's happened twice this year, and several times last year. It's alwa...
